- the CPU 81 of the system controller 80 first has the workpiece conveying device 40 carry the workpiece W into the work position of the first robot 20 and second robot 30 as shown in FIG. 1 (step S110). Subsequently, the CPU 81 reads the two-dimensional bar code attached to the workpiece W (step S120). Specifically, the CPU 81 controls the first arm 21 and disposes the first camera 24 above the two-dimensional bar code of the workpiece W, and controls the first camera 24 to capture an image of the two-dimensional bar code. Subsequently, the CPU 81 recognizes the type of the jig plate (step S130).
- the CPU 81 recognizes the type of the workpiece W from the captured two-dimensional bar code image, and recognizes the type of the jig plate P corresponding to the type of the workpiece W from the correspondence table 83T (refer to FIG. 1 ) stored in the HDD 83. Subsequently, the CPU 81 obtains production-related information corresponding to the jig plate type (step S140). Specifically, the CPU 81 reads the production-related information corresponding to the jig plate type recognized in step S130 from the correspondence table 83T and obtains the production-related information.
- the CPU 81 determines whether or not the first arm 21 is currently holding the jig plate P (step S150), and if the first arm 21 is not holding the jig plate P, the CPU 81 has the first arm 21 engage the current jig plate P (step S180). Specifically, the CPU 81 arranges the pair of fingers 23 of the first arm 21 directly above the square hole of the jig plate P based on the various positional coordinates of the jig plate P on the jig plate table 60 this time from the production-related information recognized in step S140, and engages the jig plate P with the pair of fingers 23 according to the above-described engaging procedure (refer to FIG. 4 ).
- step S160 it is determined whether or not the jig plate P needs to be replaced. Specifically, the CPU 81 determines whether or not the type of the jig plate P currently held matches the type of the jig plate recognized in step S130. It is determined that replacement is not necessary if there is a match, and replacement is necessary if there is no match.
- step S160 If replacement of the jig plate P is required according to step S160, the CPU 81 returns the jig plate P held by the first arm 21 to the predetermined seating position on the jig plate table 60 (step S170), and then proceeds to step S180 to have the first arm 21 engage the current jig plate P.
- step S180 the CPU 81 presses the workpiece W with the jig plate P held by the first arm 21 (step S190). Subsequently, the CPU 81 has the second arm 31 and the screw fastening unit 32 screw the workpiece W (step S200).
- steps S190, S200 in the case where the workpiece W is the workpiece 50 of FIG. 2 and the jig plate P, corresponding to the workpiece W, is the jig plate 70 of FIG. 3 , will be described below. These processes are executed in a state in which the workpiece 50 is placed on the conveyor belt of the workpiece conveying device 40.

- the CPU 81 has the first arm 21 position the jig plate 70 such that the two reference marks 76 of the jig plate 70 held by the first arm 21 coincide with the two reference marks 56 of the workpiece 50.
- the three guide holes 72 of the jig plate 70 are disposed directly above the three screw insertion holes 54 of the bracket 55 of the workpiece 50 and the screw holes 52 of the substrate 51 (see FIG. 6(a) ).
- the CPU 81 lowers the jig plate 70 and presses down the bracket 55 of the workpiece 50 on the jig plate 70 (refer to FIG. 6(b) ).
- bracket 55 Since the bracket 55 is a thin plate, a part of the bracket 55 may be lifted from the substrate 51 of the workpiece 50 conveyed to the work position (refer to FIG. 6(a) ). Even in such a case, since the bracket 55 is pressed down on by the jig plate 70, the lifting is eliminated and the bracket 55 is brought into close contact with the substrate 51.
- step S200 the CPU 81 controls the second arm 31 and disposes the driver 33 of the screw fastening unit 32 at a screw supplying position to which a screw 90 of a type corresponding to the workpiece 50 is supplied.
- the head 92 of the screw 90 is then sucked to the tip of the driver 33 by a vacuum method (refer to FIG. 7(a) ).
- the coordinates of the screw supplying position to which the screw 90 is supplied are included in the production-related information obtained in step S140.
- the CPU 81 has the second arm 31 position the foot 94 of the screw 90 sucked by the driver 33 so that the screw 90 axis aligns with axis of the guide hole 72 of the jig plate 70 (refer to FIG. 7(b) ).
- the CPU 81 has the second arm 31 lower the driver 33. Then, the foot 94 of the screw 90 sucked by the driver 33 passes through the guide hole 72 of the jig plate 70 and the screw insertion hole 54 of the bracket 55, and reaches the screw hole 52 of the substrate 51. At this time, since the guide hole 72 is a tapered hole, the foot 94 of the screw 90 is led to the screw hole 52 as the screw 90 is guided by the side wall of the guide hole 72. Thereafter, the CPU 81 has the second arm 31 and the screw fastening unit 32 rotate the driver 33 and screw the foot 94 of the screw 90 into the screw hole 52 (refer to FIG. 7(c) ).
- the bracket 55 of the workpiece 50 is fastened to the substrate 51 by the screw 90.
- the CPU 81 has the screw fastening unit 32 stop rotation of the driver 33 along with having the driver 33 release suction on the screw 90, and then has the second arm 31 retract the driver 33 upward. Further, the CPU 81 has the first arm 21 retract the jig plate 70 upward.
- step S200 the CPU 81 has the workpiece conveying device 40 carry out the workpiece W, to which screw fastening has been completed, from the work position (step S210). Thereafter, the CPU 81 determines whether or not all screw fastening operations have been completed (step S220), and if the screw fastening operations remain, step S110 and subsequent processes are executed again. On the other hand, if all screw fastening operations have been completed in step S220, the CPU 81 terminates the routine.
- the robotic arm control system 10 of the present embodiment corresponds to a robotic arm control system; the first arm 21 and the second arm 31 correspond to a first and second robotic arm, respectively; the first camera 24 and the CPU 81 correspond to information reading units; the jig plate table 60 corresponds to a jig plate seating unit; the HDD 83 corresponds to a storage unit; and the CPU 81 corresponds to a controller.
- a jig plate P corresponding to the type of the workpiece W to be worked on is taken out from the jig plate table 60 after the current jig plate P is returned to the jig plate table 60. Therefore, it is possible to automatically replace the jig plate P with a jig plate P corresponding to the type of workpiece.
- the component 53 with the bracket 55 having the screw insertion hole 54 can be automatically screwed to the substrate 51 having the screw hole 52. Since the bracket 55 may be lifted from the substrate 51, the present invention is highly applicable.
- the workpiece W is conveyed to the work position of the first arm 21 and the second arm 31 by the conveyor belt of the workpiece conveying device 40 and is worked on by the first arm 21 and the second arm 31 while on the conveyor belt. Therefore, workpieces W can be conveyed to the work position one after another by the conveyor belt. Further, since it is not necessary to lift the workpiece W, work efficiency increases.
- the square hole of the jig plate P and the pair of fingers 23, 23 are used for engaging the jig plate P, but the invention is not particularly limited to this.
- a holder similar to a nozzle holder having an L-shaped notch disclosed in FIG. 6 of WO2015/111156 may be provided in the jig plate engaging unit 22.

- the jig plate engaging unit 22 may detachably engage the jig plate P by excitation and demagnetization of an electromagnet.
- the workpiece W is conveyed to the conveyor belt of the workpiece conveying device 40, but the workpiece W may be conveyed by the conveyor belt of the workpiece conveying device 40 while on a workpiece holding plate.
- the two-dimensional bar code may be affixed to the workpiece W as described above, or may be affixed to the workpiece holding plate.
- the two-dimensional bar code is used in the embodiment described above, a striped bar code or an RF tag in which ID information is embedded may be used.
- the present invention is not particularly limited thereto.
- the present invention may be applied to a workpiece in which the first arm 21 presses a workpiece having a female connector (insertion portion) with a jig plate, and the second arm 31 inserts a male connector (insertion member) into the female connector.
- the present invention may be applied to an operation in which the first arm 21 presses a workpiece having a slot (insertion portion) with a jig plate and the second robot 30 fits a component (insertion member) into the slot.
